The Tolkien quote "Not all who wander are lost" has always resonated with me. In today's culture, there's this incredible focus on the idea of planning every aspect of your life out. In high school, we're expected to choose a college which will in turn decide our future careers. I chose a college, but learned that I was much too young to understand what I wanted to do or accomplish in my lifetime. I get asked fairly frequently when I plan on returning to school, or what I want to do with my life. But I'm content with fluttering between jobs that interest me and constantly moving around the country. I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had for anything. I may be wandering, but I'm sure as hell not lost.
